Kate Wyatt: Artifact
by Dan McClenaghan
At this point, in June of 2022, there is not a lot of internet chatter concerning Montreal-based pianist Kate Wyatt. Her website does not include a biography. But a trip to YouTube land reveals a bit of music from her debut CD release, Artifact. That may be all anyone needs in terms of an introduction. It ...
Ariane Racicot: Envolée
by Dan McClenaghan
Pianos pop up in odd places--airports, shopping malls, and Quebec's Mount Royal Park, where pianist Ariane Racicot strode up to a lonely upright, sat down and presented an unsuspecting crowd to a killer version of Queen's “Bohemian Rhapsody." This performance then popped up on YouTube, where it has garnered 18 million views. Racicot was ...
Yannick Rieu Generation Quartet: Qui Qu'en Grogne
by Dan McClenaghan
Veteran jazz man Yannick Rieu, based in Montreal, was tagged back in 1988 as one of the top saxophonists in the world, his name mentioned alongside Branford Marsalis, Joe Lovano and Courtney Pine. That set the bar high. A bit over thirty years have passed since he was presented with that high praise. Qui Qu'en Grogne, ...
Yves Léveillé: L’Échelle du Temps
by Troy Dostert
Although he has yet to achieve substantial acclaim beyond his native Canada, Montreal-based pianist Yves Léveillé has made an accomplished series of albums going back to 1999 with Signal Commun, the first of several releases on Effendi Records. Léveillé's music possesses a strong jazz vocabulary, but the pianist also has an abiding classical temperament. A disc ...
JazzLab Orchestra: Loguslabusmuzikus
by Chris M. Slawecki
Jazzlab Orchestra has been a fixture on the jazz scene in Canada for nearly two decades. Their unique heavy sound features six brass and reed players with a relatively standard piano, bass and drum rhythm section, and they've captured that sound on several standalone recordings and presented it on more than 300 concert stages across North ...
Earl MacDonald: Consecrated
by Dan Bilawsky
The searching spirit that drives the work of composer and pianist Earl MacDonald is both a reflection on musical curiosity and, to a deeper extent, a statement of faith. Bringing both of those identity-shaping aspects to the fore like never before, MacDonald uses Consecrated to work toward a higher purpose. Reshaping and resetting a series of ...
Nick Maclean: Can You Hear Me?
by Dan McClenaghan
Pianist Nick Maclean plays in his comfort zones with his ensemble work in the funkified electric jazz group Snaggle, and in his New York City-style, Herbie Hancock-influenced modern jazz group, the Nick Maclean Quartet. But the solo format—at least in the recording studio—is new territory to him. Undaunted by the prospect, he offers up a double ...
Noam Lemish: Erlebnisse
by Troy Dostert
Long a part of the Toronto jazz scene, pianist Noam Lemish hasn't at all been limited to that genre. He has made plenty of jazz recordings, some of the best of which include drummer George Marsh: their self-produced duo album Nightfall (2013) is an especially winning slice of post-bop jazz. But Lemish may be at his ...
Noam Lemish: Erlebnisse
by Dan McClenaghan
Pianist Noam Lemish carries multiple talents in his jam-packed bag of tricks: jazz artist, classical composer, improviser, accompanist. The Toronto- based artist-educator is probably best known for his leader/co-leader work in several different ensembles, including his jazz quartet and a twelve piece chamber jazz orchestra and jazz choir. With 2021's Erlebnisse he pares things down and ...
Beth McKenna: Beyond Here
by Dan McClenaghan
Montreal-based multi-reedist Beth McKenna's Beyond Here proves a few things. One, she is a fine arranger of her original compositions for her jazz quintet. Two: she writes. complex-yet-engaging tunes that often go after the groove. And three: there is an expansiveness--compositionally and production-wise--in her music that could probably transfer nicely to larger ensemble work. She studied ...
